Hello All. I originally had my early 70s Masi GC repainted by THEM. It became a nightmare! I had Al at Cupertino Bike Shop make the arrangements, since they were a Medici dealer at the time. After a month or so I got a call from uncle Al, he said the bike is done, but the paint came out bad. Superficially, it looked good, but if a person was to look underneath the toptube you could see where they sanded down to primer and then just clearcooated over it! Al sent it back. Afew months later, the frame arrived. It looked good. I started building it up, then I noticed the paint was peeling off like dead skin. I took the frame back to Al. Al called Gianni to complain. I left the frame off with Al, but before I did, I grabbed his DATA BOOK and told him I will hold it hostage until the frame is done right. Al finally got the frame back and nothing was done to it. Al reached into HIS till and handed me a cash refund OUT OF HIS POCKET!! Note- the DATA BOOK hostage thing was in pure fun and Al knew it. Dave Maritnez
